BET’s 106 & Park tour came to downtown Houston’s House of Blues, Oct. 5. Fans rushed the doors as they looked for a standing spot to get as close as possible to all the new and renowned artists who would soon be taking the stage.
Kicking off the concert was Duo Icebloc, a hip-hop team new to the rap game, did a few songs from their album one of which is titled, “Drop and Roll.”
R&B singer Mishon, another brand new artist known for his video in 106 & Park, sang “Just a Kiss.” The last opening act was Tasha Denae, an up coming solo artist from Fort Wayne, performing her single “Gone’.
Sean Garret, song writer turned artist, sang his hit song “Grippin’ On The Bed,” among other songs he had written. Garret finished up showing his generous side by giving a Louis Vuitton purse to one lucky lady in the audience.
The crowd jumped up and down, screaming with excitement as Day 26 came out in masks that had a psychotic theme.
For their first song they started with “Come With Me,” and finished with the hit “Ima Put It On Her.” They also displayed their seductiveness by serenading a few women in the audience.
There was a brief intermission followed by Mario, who gave a magnificent performance. Mario’s song, “Break Up” featured Garret. The crowd went into a frenzy as he tossed his hat into the audience.
But things really got exciting as headliner Trey Songz took center stage. Songz started with a familiar jam, “Can’t Help But Wait,” , followed by “Invented sex,” from his new CD Ready. He went on to perform “Gotta Go,” from his first CD. He also performed “Gotta Make It,” “Scratchin me Up”, “Last Time,” from his second album “Trey Day,” “I Need a Girl,” his first single “Just Gotta Make It,” “Successful,” “Panty Dropper”, “Neighbors Know my Name,” and “It’s Your Birthday.”
He then finished off with his last song “Yo Side of the bed,” leaving everyone wanting more. Songz returned to the stage and thanked everyone for coming out and showing support, and being a wonderful audience.
The tour will hit Dallas, Texas, then go on to New Orleans, and Atlanta. They will finish the tour in Las Vegas, Nev. The BET’s 106 & Park tour was a true success, all the performers performed wonderfully and I’m sure this won’t be the last we see of them.
